On Oct. 4, 1960, 62 people died when Eastern Airlines Flight 375 plunged wing-first into Boston Harbor after flying into a flock of birds shortly after takeoff. It was the first commercial airline crash in Logan Airport's history, the deadliest air disaster in New England history at the time, and it remains the most deadly crash in US history involving a bird strike.
